Château Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac-Léognan Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 1999

Evolution evident in the colour, and on the palate you find bitter orange zest, smoke, candied ginger, waves of tertiary but flavoursome candied citrus and lemongrass. 1995 was the first year at the estate for technical director Fabien Teitgen, so this was his fourth vintage. Harvest began September 1 for the whites.
